Subject: [RFC PATCH v1 13/25] unwind_user/eh_frame: Show file name in debug output
Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2026 16:49:42 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260818144954.2320378-14-jremus@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260818144954.2320378-1-jremus@linux.ibm.com>
When debugging eh_frame issues, the error messages aren't all that helpful
without knowing what file a corresponding .eh_frame[_hdr] section belongs
to. Prefix debug output strings with the file name.
Based on Josh Poimboeuf's, Steven Rostedt's, and my unwind user sframe
implementation.
